- Omega-3 essential fatty acids – These are “good” fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects. Each tablespoon of ground flax seed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s.
- Lignans – Lignans have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flax seed contains 75-800 times more lignans than other plant foods.
